Great service, friendly staff. Clean and comfortable rooms, overall a pleasant stay and would visit again.

Philip

Private room was small, but comfortable. Shared bathrooms were not very clean, so we were happy to have a private bathroom. A large kitchen - enough space for everyone. Very good location - grocery store, shopping mall and train station around the block, George street is very close - it's a good place to be in the city centre and reach all the centre attractions.

Trains and busses to Bondi Beach, the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and ANZ Football Stadium stop just across the street at Town Hall Station. The historic Rocks precinct, Sydney Harbor Bridge and Opera House are a 15-minute bus ride away.

The Scary Canary is Base Sydney’s local watering hole where backpackers and locals meet. It serves a good quality lunch menu and by night, the bar offers drink specials, DJs and events such as a silent disco, beer pong, bingo and a pool competition. There are trivia nights and pub crawls as well. Complimentary daily pancakes are served for a limited time in the morning and pasta lunch is served on Wednesdays.

The (girls) bathroom wasn't clean often - especially the trash bins have been congested which was pretty impractical.
The lounge is pretty nice; comfy seats, mostly good Wi-Fi (better than at the rooms) and a relaxing atmosphere. The showers are better than in most other hostels.

Rooms were fine but the system with the app to open the door is not working great just yet. The curtains could have been updated as the sun comes up at 5:30 AM and it would be nice for it to still be dark-ish in the room.
Staff was very helpful and kind. Great location in the middle of the city center with many shops around. I was scared of noise complaints in the room due to the other reviews, but I didn't hear anything.
